Radio Interview with Shelli Sonstein 104.3 FM

By Maria Filice • September 19, 2010

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to share my radio interview with Shelli Sonstein 104.3 that was viewed on 9/19.

http://www.q1043.com/common/podcast/single_page.html?podcast=community

As a classic rock fan, and a listener of q104.3 FM since I moved to NYC in 1997,visiting the station with a tray of my biscotti was a thrill! Meeting both Jim Kerr and Shelli Sonstein was fun.

A few of my food blogs titles were inspired while I was listening to q104.3fm:

Stairway to Heavenly Eggplant and Great Gig of Bolognese

For those of us about to eat, we toast you!
For those about to rock, we salute you!

a presto,

Maria

Bruschetta, caprese on a stick, pesto-presto goat cheese spread and presto-pesto ricotta spread. Good way to break bread with guests attending Front and Center as I demo and present my book “Breaking Bread in L’Aquila”!

We’ll post photos and give you an update in a few days.

Fashionista to Foodista

By Maria Filice • September 16, 2010

Fashionista to Foodista = Turning my runway to food styling …

I was invited to one of the events during Fashion Week in NYC. It was exciting to get all dressed up and wear those four inch heals that my feet now “cringe” at the very thought. Well, back in the day, I would wear them from morning to night and now paying a sweet “cannoli” price. I love my shoes well, when I’m sitting down breaking bread of course!

As I was ready to leave my apartment, I put a few of my Breaking Bread in L’Aquila post cards in my designer bag (next to my red lipstick)- just in case I ran into someone.

I realized at the event (size zero’s all around me), maybe not…..save the post cards for another event….

During the excitement of watching the models wearing Spring Collection 2011 (very 80’s), I laughed inside…why? I felt the same excitement when I went to the opening of Eataly or wine tasting events…

How my gusto changed over the decade……Raise a toast to sweet, savory change!

a presto,

maria

Corriere Canadese Article

By Maria Filice • September 15, 2010

It was so nice to have a follow-up interview with Elena Serra, journalist at Corriere Canadese. We first met at my book launch in Toronto and hosted by Villa Charities.

Here’s a link to the Corriere Canadese article featuring Breaking Bread in L’Aquila:
I referred to Oscar Farinetti, founder of Eataly as the food “rock star”!

warm wishes,

Delicious Combo: Pesto and Goat Cheese

By Maria Filice • September 15, 2010

What a delicious combination: mixing a little fresh pesto to goat cheese!

Mix a little pesto (1tbsp), drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and 4 oz of fresh goat cheese. Mix with a fork until smooth. Add a little black pepper and red chili flakes.

Serve as a crostini topping and top with sun dried tomatoe (cut into strips and add a couple).

I also stuffed in a sundried tomatoe as another variation.

I am going to share more appetizer tips as we get closer to the Holidays!

I will be serving this at my demo/book signing in Owego on Friday Night along with other treats!

a presto-pesto,

maria!
